Item Description

A gecko who has watched far too much television gets drafted back into the Media Dimension, where every level is a channel and every channel is a parody. That is the pitch of Gex: Enter the Gecko, Crystal Dynamics' 1998 jump from the 2D original into a free-roaming 3D platformer in the style of Super Mario 64, and Gex 64 is its Nintendo 64 edition, ported by Realtime Associates and published by Midway.

The arch-villain Rez is back, and a pair of government agents drag a retired Gex into the field to stop him. You explore TV-themed levels from a hub world, collecting red remotes for completing level objectives, silver remotes for hidden secrets and for gathering 120 collectibles, and gold remotes from bonus stages. Gex fights with a tail whip, a tail bounce and a flying karate kick, and like a real gecko he can climb certain walls and ceilings, which turns plenty of levels into vertical puzzles. Flies hidden inside little TV sets restore health, grant extra lives or give temporary upgrades.

The humor came from serious comedy talent. The script was co-written by Robert Cohen, a former writer on The Simpsons, and comedian Dana Gould, who also voices Gex in the North American release and brought the one-liners and costume gags. The team included names that went on to bigger things, among them director Glen Schofield and designer Evan Wells. Cartridge limits meant the N64 version trimmed some voice lines, cutscenes and a handful of stages, but it gained something no other version has: Gecques Cousteau, an exclusive underwater level built around the sunken Titanic.

Critics were mostly positive at the time, praising the personality while knocking the camera, and the game led straight into Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko a year later. For N64 collectors, Gex 64 is a distinct version of the game with its own level, and a time capsule of late-90s mascot platformers at their most pop-culture obsessed.

About the game

Gex 64 was the Nintendo 64 port of Gex: Enter the Gecko. This version featured a new level, which replaced the secret levels. "Gecques Cousteau", which is centered on the RMS Titanic, is played almost entirely underwater. The only land parts of the level are at the entrance to the Titanic, which is sunk by the iceberg. Other changes include fewer bonus levels and fewer quotes, due to the Nintendo 64 cartridges storing significantly less data for games than CDs. Some of the sound effects were altered slightly.
